Hi. Kunk is very busy preparing some stuff, so blogging, unfortunately, again had to wait. This is not a super unique post either and I’m usually not doing it like this but now I’m just gonna share some remixes I really liked in the past couple weeks. Kinda trying to set stuff to the winter-mood we have here. You know, fog and rain and colder than fall should be. I’m in between dancefloor-exploding hotness that melts the coming snow and the ice-queen coolness and beauty that has its home in the clouds around the mountaintops. So my choices are: Yeah Yeah Yeahs remixed by A-Trak. This one is huge, I know, I’m surprised I like it because I never liked A-Trak but this mix kills it. Another one is by Treasure Fingers who entered the remix contest for Little Boots‘ Earthquake. Epicwave remix indeed. Talking about dancefloor-killers, the brilliant Russ Chimes did it again with Marina and the Diamonds. Closer to the coldness, Siriusmo’s laid-back mix of Chromeo’s new single is an awesome ’summer is dead’ tune. The XX would be definetely cool background music for a winter video, probably fashion-y kids holding hands and trying to make things work in a ski camp or something. Rory Phillips‘ mix stays on the XX mood and makes it an abstract dance track. Au Revoir Simone and Neon Indian is a great pair, the latter’s remix of Another Likely Story bears a beautiful dream-like quality. Thanks for the tracks to various blogs around.

I didn’t write a review about the YYYs album cause everyone blogged it to hell. Now, it’s single time. Remixes from MSTRKRFT, Erol Alkan and Animal Collective. Zero is gonna be one of the best indie-dance tracks of the year, that’s for sure now, and it’s highly bloggable due to the remixes. I personally don’t like either the MSTRKRFT or the Erol Alkan versions cause neither managed to grab from the track the parts I adore and made it into stupid dance-music. On the other hand, I just got to listen to the Animal Collective one. They are not really famous for being awesome remixers, I guess and the appeal stems from their status as alternative-indie icons. The remix is nonetheless cool. Weird and otherworldy as it can be expected, coming from a universe where every planet builds up from water, the atmosphere is a great fit for Karen O’s vocal. I’m not saying it’s the best remix we’re gonna hear but it washes away the bad taste that MSTRKRFT and Erol Alkan left in the mouths. And thank god, it’s not over 5 minutes. Show the love and buy the stuff!
